long, continuous swims

Do top swimmers, like Phelps, also do long, continuous swims at times or do they only do interval training? Does anyone here ever do long, continuous swims? I basically only do interval training and maybe add longer distances in my workout but I never do a complete workout as a continuous swim. Should one also include continuous swim sessions?

    In his book, Phelps mentioned 10k for time as something that Bowman would assign. He also mentioned that he had to do main sets at threshold pace. For Phelps, this was 1:02.xx during the Beijing training cycle. That's in LCM folks! :anim_coffee: What's the name of the book? Is it this one? Amazon.com: No Limits: The Will to Succeed: Michael Phelps, Alan Abrahamson: Books I'm kinda of a Phelps fan so wouldn't mind reading it.
